[D]This is our last goodbye, I hate to [Bm]feel the love [A]between us [Em]die But it’s [G]over, just hear [D]this and then I’ll go : You [A]gave me more to live for, [G]more than you’ll ever [D]know.

[D]This is our last embrace, must I [Bm]dream and [A]always see your [G]face Why [Em]can’t we overcome this [D]wall [A]Baby, maybe it is just because I didn’t [G]know you at all.

[Dm] [A]Kiss me, please, [G]kiss me But kiss me [A]out of desire, babe, and not [G]consolation You know, it [A]makes me so angry ’cause I [G]know that in time [A]I’ll only make you [G]cry, this is our last [D]goodbye.

[Bm][A][G][A][Bm][A][Em][A][Bm][A][G] [D]Did you [Bm]say [A]”no, this can’t [G]happen to me,” [D]And did you [Bm]rush to the [A]phone to [G]call? Was there a [D]voice un[Bm]kind in the [A]back of your [G]mind saying, [Em]”Maybe… you didn’t [C]know him at [G]all.” Well, the [D]bells out in the church tower [D]chime [D]Burning clues into this heart of [D]mine Thinking [C]so hard on her [D]soft eyes and the [C]memory Of her [D]sighs that, “it’s over… it’s over…”
